AEW star CM Punk reportedly suffered a scary injury during backstage tussle; more details disclosed
The backstage situation in AEW after All Out is seemingly worsening by the minute, with new reports of CM Punk being injured surfacing.
The media scrum after the pay-per-view last Sunday saw CM Punk going off on a verbal tirade against Hangman Adam Page and the EVPs (Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks). He also revealed details of his real-life legal altercation with Colt Cabana.
The Second City Saint blaming the EVPs reportedly sparked a backstage brawl, which also involved Ace Steel. Steel is alleged to have hit Nick Jackson with a chair and bit Kenny Omega.
A new report from Fightful Select states that there was speculation that CM Punk suffered an injury to his triceps during the altercation. However, others close to him claim that it took place during a dive at the AEW All Out main event, which was noticed by multiple people.
He was also observed icing it in the scrum following the game. Although the severity hasn't been disclosed, Punk was reportedly "hurt" prior to the backstage altercation.
Reportedly, The Young Bucks confronted CM Punk about his comments at the media scrum.
